The article, an op-ed published on November 25, 2023, was written by two physicians, Dr. Bram Wispelwey, an internist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) in Boston, and Dr. Eric Reinhart, a psychiatry resident at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, who was reported this summer to have lied about completing his PhD at Harvard.
I first saw the op-ed after it was amplified on X by another Brigham physician, cardiologist Dr. Nasrien Ibrahim, whose profile, which has had about 25,000 posts and reposts, has been a repository of antisemitism’s greatest hits, including conspiracy theories about Jewish control of government (sometimes using the code name “AIPAC”), challenges to Israel’s right to exist, and platforming of apologists for the October 7 massacre.
